3.0-Tesla MRI Observation at Return to Play After Hamstring Injuries
At RTP, 3.0-T MRI shows high percentages of MRI abnormalities (edema, fibrosis, and intramuscular tendon disruption and thickening). We conclude that complete normalization of 3.0-T MRI is not expected for RTP decision after a hamstring injury. Its possible association with reinjury risk has to be determined in larger cohorts.
